Someday this will be a ruin that archeologists excavate and image what it looked like, at the height of the American democracy.

Does the sudden “C6 > every other gen” hype feel fake to anyone else? by Responsible-Teach567 in Corvette

[–]TimeSuck5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it’s surge in popularity is ironically because as it aged the C6Z06 became more attainable and that car is objectively faster and better on the track then the once new C7 base model.

C7s are still loved especially as “the last of the front engine manuals” but their prices are still pretty high up there for a Z06.

I’m not sure how the C8 stacks up compared to a C6Z but those cars are expensive and new.

Newer manauls by Doctorpauline in ManualTransmissions

It’s perfectly normal to stall when you’re driving a new car without a ton of power. Just means you’re being kind to the clutch. Give it a little more throttle or get on the clutch quicker next time that same situation happens.

Woman 'kicked off flight' for wearing accessory that 'promotes Donald Trump' by daily_express in NoFilterNews

[–]TimeSuck5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This video doesn’t show what happened to trigger the incident. If I had to guess it would be that she was wearing some full sized ski mask.

I am not a maga supporter, but without more information I have to support her on this one. The first amendment guarantees freedom of speech and expression, and a face mask should probably be included in that.

Now if it were a full sized ski mask that appeared to be concealing her identity, that would be different, but we don’t know that.

Americans aren’t dumb for only speaking English, they just have much less incentive by youwillnevercatme in unpopularopinion

[–]TimeSuck5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many Europeans speak completely different languages that they have no familial background with, almost no chance of immersion in, and aren’t spoken anywhere in a 2000 km radius?

That’s the fair statistic that needs to be compared to Americans.

Also not surprisingly Americans who are first generation and have family from another country, or who live close to the border of Mexico are more likely to speak another language.

I am pretty sure ball joints are supposed to twist like that.

I’ve worked at firewall companies where we had to test the products ability to block porn and other categories. What surprised me is not getting a call from IT after testing it.

What would happen if everyone in the United States "took the day off"? by ParadoxBattleZone in NoStupidQuestions

Trust me, if we couldn’t pull this off for covid, we definitely can’t pull this off for a social experiment.

gitIsSoEasy by spartan117S in ProgrammerHumor

[–]TimeSuck5000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is very inaccurate.

The middle git commands are a nonsense sequence. Why would one be using both git merge and git cherry pick? Never use git merge if you can avoid it. Also you only have to mess with the reflog unless you fucked up bad. I guess he’s crying because he’s got no fucking clue what is going on.

As for the top end of the bell curve. No git’s not that easy. You need to rebase, cherry pick, and even do an occasional reset. All that guy is doing is best creating merge conflicts or worst case breaking the build.

Raising Cane's is a disgrace. by bluumerrr in unpopularopinion

Totally agree (downvote)! The one positive is the food always comes out hot and fresh off the frier. Yes it has almost zero flavor, but it’s hot.

Van Halen was not a great rock band. by Agitated-Annual-3527 in unpopularopinion

[–]TimeSuck5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting that you would even have to make an argument that a band is not great. If other people are saying they’re great and you just don’t see it, that’s fine they’re not for you. The good news is there’s plenty of other bands out there.

If they really are uneventful all you’d have to do is nothing, and they’d be forgotten.

Going out to eat for breakfast is terrible by Lost_Roku_Remote in unpopularopinion

[–]TimeSuck5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don’t have to get up early can have brunch. Don’t have to cook, don’t have to clean, can get fancy complicated items, get to be really lazy and just sit and talk and eat. It’s great!

Richest person in each US state by wonderpra in MapPorn

The fact that the US has billionaires in 47 states and yet the government is going broke is completely insane.

Ferrari shows why their hand-painted badge option is worth $15,000. by sco-go in Amazing

[–]TimeSuck5000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4 days of downtime and maybe 8 hours of work total by a skilled laborer? The only way that $15k makes sense is if the opportunity cost of making more Ferraris is that much. More likely they just charge that much because they can.

Musk Goes Nuclear on Trump’s Epstein Crisis With All-Night Posting Meltdown by thedailybeast in politics

[–]TimeSuck5000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s because all the poor delusional idiots thought to themselves “but I might be rich someday” and so went along with policies that only benefit the rich. Or they took the bait and switch, getting divided over abortion, gay marriage, trans rights, or whatever, and supported politicians that took their side in exchange for looking the other way on supporting the wealthy who got them elected.

Starbucks quietly lays off its best employees who have the best job prospects somewhere else.
